Yes, a 'great' fighter. Fought the last 2-Years of his career with a damaged

A power-punching southpaw, who applied relentless pressure.

Thanks Bean-Man,
Ben Villaflor had major problems with his left-wrist, and right-hand.
He also suffered a 'detached retina' in his right-eye on March 13, 1975 in his
WBA Super-Featherweight Title defense with Hyun-Chi Kim in The Philippines.
Ben caught a thumb in the right-eye, and went blind for 5-days.

Great southpaw Light-Welterweight out of Thailand.
Won the WBC Light-Welterweight Championship in only his 3rd-bout.
Had a record of 2-0-0 {2 KO's}, and only 8-Rounds of 'conventional' Boxing ring experience
when he fought and defeated {KO 8} WBC Champion - Perico Fernandez on July 15, 1975
Unfortunately suffered a 'bad' injury to his right-eye in 'back-to-back' Title Defenses on
December 30, 1977 against Jo Kimpuani, and April 8, 1978 against Francisco Moreno.
Was never the same, as he fought with only one good-eye {left-eye]. He could not see
out of his right-eye from mid-1978 and on.
Was supposed to defend his Title against Esteban Dejesus in September 1978, but he
had to undergo a 2nd eye operation and had to postpone the bout.

I think the key is definitely steroids. Manny and Galaxy were definitely on the juice and they are the two greatest.
